Under the plane tree.
Qin Luo looked at the stone and said, "There is Jinghu Academy near Longhu Temple. I have many friends there. If you want to study, you can go to Jinghu Academy."
There was light in Shi Shi's eyes. He wanted to study, but he slowly lowered his head.
Qin Luo asked softly, "What worries do you have?"
"Brother, the fortune teller said that my fortune is tough, and I'm afraid of bringing misfortune to them." Shitou looked downcast.
Qin Luo said with a smile: "You have followed me for so long, are we in trouble?"
Shitou said with tears in his eyes: "The fortune teller said that big brother has bad omens, maybe it's because of my existence."
Qin Luo reached out and patted Shi Shi's shoulder, "Don't be influenced by the so-called fate. Blindly escaping will only lose your true self, but do good things and don't ask about the future."
"do not understand."
"So read more."
Shitou and Qin Luo looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Luo thought of Chen Changan, "There is a Black Mountain not far from Jinghu Academy. The mountain god of Black Mountain is called Chen Changan. He is my friend. You don't have to worry about affecting him. His life was not good. He was a scholar when he was alive. He has read many books, and you can read with him.”
Shi Shi raised his head, "Then will he want me?"
Qin Luo smiled and said, "Yes, I will write a letter and you can hand it to him when the time comes."
"Uh-huh."
Shitou was overjoyed.
Qin Luo said seriously: "Stone, I won't give it away to you. You have to walk to the Ziyun Mountains alone."
There may be danger in the royal capital.
Qin Luo didn't dare to take risks with stones.
"no problem!"
Shitou nodded firmly.
Qin Luo's body was surrounded by Bagua diagrams, and he interpreted the changes of Bagua on the stone, "The Tao is in it!"
Shitou watched intently. During the time he followed Qin Luo, he not only learned to use Bagua, but also learned to meditate and breathe. His physical fitness was far superior to that of his peers.
After Qin Luo finished performing the gossip, he asked with a smile: "Stone, how much do you remember?"
"forget."
Shi Shi scratched his head in embarrassment.
Qin Luo smiled slightly and said, "You will think about it slowly in the future. Black Mountain is very special and it is very suitable for cultivation."
"I will work hard."
Shitou nodded heavily.
Qin Luo took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he wrote a few letters under the tree, "This letter is yours. Give it to the mountain god of Montenegro, and he will understand."
"good."
Shitou put the letter into his arms.
Qin Luo then put the other letters into the storage bag. He handed the storage bag to Shi Shi, "Help me give this storage bag to Ziyue from Longhu Temple. She is my junior sister."
Shitou put away the storage bag and said solemnly: "Brother, I promise to complete the mission."
Qin Luo nodded happily. He then grabbed the little dumpling out of his pocket and put the red small gourd into the little dumpling's pocket.
"Help me take Xiaotuanzi back to the Ziyun Mountains. If she hasn't woken up yet, leave it to Ziyue to take care of her!" Qin Luo handed Xiaotuanzi to Shitou.
Shitou dare not neglect.
He held the small dumpling in his hand.
Qin Luo walked across a small bridge with the stone. He pointed to the north, "Follow this river and go all the way north, and you can reach the Ziyun Mountains."
Shitou held the small dumplings in his hands. He bowed and saluted with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I will wait for you to come back in the Ziyun Mountains!"
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Shitou held the small dumplings in his hands, and he walked towards the Ziyun Mountains with his baggage and black pot on his back. Qin Luo walked towards the capital with Qingfeng in his sleeves, and they drifted away.
After Qin Luo left the official road, he still liked to walk on country roads. There was no noise of carriages and horses here. He walked from early morning to dusk, admiring the surrounding scenery. Pingyuan County was full of fields full of crops, and the people were busy from early morning. Arrive late.
The sun sets in the west and smoke curls up.
Qin Luo passed by Hujia Village. The roads in the village were very wide and there were neat rows of two-story wooden buildings. It was richer than many small towns.
Children are chasing and playing in the village. Dogs in the village are in groups, and civet cats are lying on high places wagging their tails leisurely.
Qin Luo smelled a very fragrant smell, which was bacon and fried Chinese toon. He could only speed up and leave the village, but the children around him did not notice his passing.
night.
Under the bright moonlight.
The earth is covered with light yellow gauze, frogs are singing in the rice fields one after another, Qin Luo is walking on the country road, he likes this kind of quiet night.
Qin Luo saw the stone through Luoshui. The wind was blowing on his feet. He held the small dumpling and ran all the way. He just wanted to reach the Ziyun Mountains as soon as possible.
The closer Qin Luo gets to the capital of Daxia and the further away from Luoshui, the weaker his water luck becomes.
Qin Luo didn't pay attention, he continued on his way.
The next day.
The sun rises high.
Qin Luo was still walking on the country road. There was a seven or eight-year-old boy in front of him. He was about the same age as a stone, but much taller. He was holding a wooden stick in his hand. The taller wild flowers and weeds growing on the roadside were all He wants to be hit with a stick.
After teaching the wild flowers and vegetables a lesson, the boy picked up the wooden stick and strode forward, gesturing in the air with the stick from time to time, as if to warn someone.
After walking for a long time, the boy turned back and saw Qin Luo and the small box in his hand.
The boy looked at the young Taoist priest, frowned and asked, "Who are you and why are you holding my book box?"
"My name is Qin Luo, what's your name?"
Qin Luo smiled.
The boy held his head high and said in a loud voice, "My name is Li Heitan!"
"You look fat and white, why are you called Heitan?"
"Ask my dad."
The boy spoke loudly, and he was not afraid of strangers. "I don't study anymore anyway. If you like this book box, I will give it to you."
After Li Heitan finished speaking, he turned around and continued walking forward with the wooden stick on his shoulder, whistling in his mouth.
Qin Luo thought the child was interesting, so he stepped forward and said, "Where are you going if you don't study?"
"Go and cultivate immortality."
Li Heitan raised his thick eyebrows with a proud expression on his face, "Every year today, the Great Xia Sword Sect recruits disciples. With my talent, I will definitely become famous all over the world in the future."
Qin Luo thought of Li Jianwei's invitation. He guessed that the Daxia Sword Sect would hold a sect ceremony after recruiting disciples. He smiled and asked, "Can you take me with you?"
Li Heitan looked at Qin Luo, and he shook his head in an arrogant manner, "Brother, you are too old. The Daxia Sword Sect has regulations that only those under twelve years old can participate in the assessment."
"You know so much!"
"Of course, there is an old man in our village who is a disciple of Daxia Sword Sect."
"Is he great?"
"Of course he is powerful. He is a handyman disciple of Daxia Sword Sect and has been sweeping the land for sixty years."
Li Heitan held his head high and his chest high.
The pride on his face was palpable.
Qin Luo carried Li Heitan's small book box, "Have you told your family that you went to cultivate immortality?"
Li Heitan shook his head and hummed softly: "My father is a pig butcher. He wants me to study more. In the future, I can enter an academy and work as an official, so that I can honor my ancestors."
"It's a good thing to have your own ideas, but you have to discuss it with your family, otherwise they will worry." Qin Luo reminded with a smile.
Li Heitan suddenly accelerated and ran away. He turned back and stuck out his tongue at Qin Luo, and then continued running.
Qin Luo smiled.
Li Heitan ran very fast. No matter how fast he ran, he would always see Qin Luo when he looked back.
Qin Luo followed slowly.
It's approaching evening.
They came to Daxia Sword Sect.
Li Heitan looked at the Daxia Sword Sect above the clouds. In the brilliant sunset, the golden light shone like the kingdom of God. His eyes widened and he was speechless.
Daxia Sword Sect is floating in the mid-air. It consists of several huge islands floating in the air, half of which are hidden above the clouds. They are scattered high and low, making it a spectacular sight.
Qin Luo had seen Xuazhi Mountain before and was not very surprised by this kind of building floating in the sky.
Li Heitan was dumbfounded.
He took a long time to come to his senses.
Qin Luo reminded softly: "The assessment is almost over, why don't you hurry over."
Li Heitan looked at a martial arts arena on the ground below Daxia Jianzong. In the middle of the martial arts arena stood a tall white jade stone tablet. The surrounding area was deserted, and it was relatively late now.
The martial arts arena suddenly rose from the ground.
Li Heitan threw away the wooden stick in his hand and ran towards the martial arts field with all his strength. He shouted loudly: "Wait for me, I haven't taken the assessment yet."
Qin Luo picked up the wooden stick.
He watched Li Heitan running under the sunset.
There was an old man with a straight back on the martial arts field. He noticed Li Heitan running with an expressionless face and did not stop for him. The slowly rising martial arts field did not stop for him.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
Li Heitan knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Qin Luo placed the wooden stick and small book box next to Li Heitan, smiled and comforted: "Don't regret it, your childhood is still there, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
